we'll defined trail behind. After CROSS
Northwestern roads, near the pork
house, the stakes OF the Central are
placed close to the ties OF the North
western along the north side Of that
track. This indicates that the Central
will come into Ysnkton over the right Of
way used by the Northwestern and Mil
waukee and it will give three parallel
tracks from the Jim to the city, o dis
tance of some four miles. After leaving
these tracks their route through the city
leads yer public ground, where right OF
way will be inexpensive.
The Sioux City Tribune Of yesterday
states that the Central line to Yankton
is to run from Cherokee, instead Of Lie
Mars. Cherokee is thirty.fve miles east
OF LIE Mars and o straight route from the
former place to Yankton would carry the
new line across the present Central rosd
at q point between LIE Mars and Sioux
City. some SIX miles from LIE Mars. II
this be the case the Central will parallel
its own track all the way from Cherokee
to Lie Mars, which does not seem prob.
able. The Tribune asserts that there
are two surveying squads at work be.
tween Cherokee and the crossing
| OF the Central south of as Mara
and two other squads between this Cross
ing and Yankton, making four working
parties of surveyors upon a line not
much more than a hundred miles long,
The Tribune further states that the Cen
tral will sell to the st. Paul line of the
Northwestern its track between LeMars
and Sioux City, now used in common by
the two roads, This would involve On
entire abandonment of Sioux City by the
Illinois Central and make Yankton its
Missouri river base. By q glance at the
map it will be seen Inst the Illinois Cen.
trail runs due west from Chicago as far as
LsMsrs anl there makes o sharp angle
and runs nearly due south to Sioux City,
This diversion occurred at the time the
far west project OF what is % the Illi-
nois Central was suspended, back in the
%ifties. To find a temporary Missouri
river resting place the road abandoned
its course and went twenty-five miles
ont OF it's way to halt ct sioux City. A
revival of the original fer west project
means an abandonment OF Sioux City al
an initial point and the continuation 81
the due west line, either from Cherokee
orLeMars.w which will bring it to the Mis-
souri, at Yanktun in furtherance OF the
original design. If this is the plan thu
Central does not need to go to Siou,

Tke Tax on Mortgages.

The Supreme Court Tuesday filed fina
decision adverse to the claim of the State
to collect State tax on moneys at interest
upon mortgages and other securities in the
hands of corporations. The late revenue
act failed to authorize the collection of the
tax on such securities, but the State claimed
that it was collectable under the earlier
acts of 1874 and 1916. Judge Green puts
the decision of the Supreme Court on these
grounds:
I'VE are Of opinion that the acts of 1870,
1881 and 1885 do not, nor does any one OF
them; impose taxation for State purposes
upon mortgages owned by corporations. II
is matter of the greatest doubt Hhether
the acts of 1874 and is4e; so far as they
relate TO the taxation of mort ges in the
hands of corporations, are now in force.
So far as the taxation of mortgages is con-
cerned, the later legislation appears to
provide sYsterd, full, complete and substi-
tutionary in character, and seemingly
intended to take the place of the former:
In the very best view of the subject for the
Commonwealth, it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the earlier acts can be considered
as now in force fer tie purpose OF taxing
mortgages in the hands OF corporations,
and the mere fact of such doubt interdiets
the proposed tRxatioH:g

anniversary of the great food in the Les

and the poor msrtals whose business pre-
vented them from staying indoors had
good reason to believe that a second flood
of the Noah kind was at hand. The Lehigh
river presentel scene which we think and
hope no one will ever see again. Bridges,
boats, stables, houses, piles of lumber, logs
and goods of almost every character within
the reach of the water, came floating down
on the angry torrent, Millions of dollars
worth of property was destroyed, and by
many the 4th of June. 1862, will long be
remembered as day upon which hundreds
of liyes were lost in the lood.-Ex.
